Earth's bravest and truest heroes
Fight with IN unseen Toe,
And win victory grander

We little dream OF the conflict
Wnged in each human soul,
And We know but few Of the heroes
Upon Gods honorroll
But one Of esrth's little heroes
Right glad am I 70 know;
His nsme for me y mother,
Ny nnme for him = Joe.
At thought Of = ten-year-old hero
Ny friends have often smiled;
But battle-neld's battlefield
In the heart Of man or child

I saw, hut nave no sign:

OF this little knight OF mine.

For vo AL depend On joe"

Tread his heart like book
For the battle that he was lighting

And then 70 his merry playm2tes
Outspoke my loyal knight:

Because II wouldn't be nght.r

That true to God and his manhood
He might stand IN the worlds nerce hgh'
And shun each unworthy action
Because 1t wouldn't be right"

TRAINING THE YOUNG.

The Parental Duty which Society Owes TO
the Youth Of the Land.
The parental duty of the community
is something which even our modern
philosophers, as rule, neglect to em-
phasize. and yet the fact remains that
the community has q parental duty to
discharge toward every minor A child
is not merely the parents child; it is al
ready member Of society, and it is the
duty Of society to see that proper adj
vantages for the training Of youth are
provided. The importance Of the home
surroundings upon the growing lad or
lass is something which all enlightened
people appreciate, but the popular sense
Of the parental duty Of the community
is yet to be awakened.
The community is responsible equally
with the parent for the training Of the
child. It is the duty Of the community
to see that the child is provided with an
education which shall surely reveal
himself to himself, that may awaken
some definite aspiration within him and
bend his energies toward preparation
for some calling by which he is by tenn
permanent and power Of application
qualified. It is the parental duty Of So
ciety to see that its youth are trained to
become useful members Of the COM
munity, and not set adrift upon the
world unprepared to hew their way.

Set into the breast Of the SPHINX is the
celebrated stella Of Thothmes Nv. OF the
twenty-third dynasty. 1t is fourteen
feet high. and contains long inscrip-
ton, recounting how the King owed his
elevation to the throne to the interior
ence of the god Hormakhu on his behalf.
Bas-reliefs upon the tablet show us the
King offering incense and pouring out
libation to the Sphinx. with a beard
and other divine attributes. 1t also re-
lates his dream, wherein the god bids
him dig away the sand. The following
translation is quoted from Brugsh Bey:
ION one of these days it happened,
when the Kings son Thutmes had
arrived on his journey about the time
of midday, and had stretched him.
self to rest in the shade of this great
god, that sleep overlook him. He
dreamt in his slumber at the moment
when the sun was at the zenith. and it
seemed to him as though this great god
spoke to him with his own mouth, just
as father speaks to his son, addressing
him thus: Behold me. look at me, thou,
my son Thutmes. am thy father Hor-
makhu, Khafra, Ra, Tum. The king
dom shall be given to thee. and thou
shalt wear the white crown and the red
crown Chat is, of Upper and Lower
Egypt .on the throne Of the earth-god
Sch. the youngest among the gods.
The world shall be thine in its length
and in its breadth. as far as the light Of
the eye of the lord of the universe
shines. Plenty and riches shall be thine;
the best from the interior of the land,
and rich tributes from all nations. Long
years shall be granted thee as thy term
Of life. My countenance is gracious
towards thee, and my heart clings to
thee. Twill give] thee the best of all
things. The sand of the district in
which have my existence has covered
me up. Promise me that you will do
what wish in my heart; then shall !
know whether thou art my son, my
help. Go forward; let me be united to
Uucc. dIu-
after this cThutmes awoke, and he
repeated all these speeches., and he
understood (the meaning) of the words
of the god, and laid them up in his
heart, speaking thus to himself: i see
how the jewellers in the temple Of the
city honor this god with sacrifcial gifts
without thinking of freeing from sand
the work Of the King] Khafra, the
statue which was made to Tum-Hor-
makhu."
The rest Of the inscription is de-
stroyed; and Mr.. Flinders Petrie tells
us that since the. last time the tablet
was uncovered, the word Khafra has
scaled of from the stone. At any rate
we learn from the Corpus Isscriptionum
Grccarxns that the King uncovered the
monster image Of the god, exposing
him entirely to view, and that the in
habitants Of Pi-usiri-the city Of Osiris
-Busiris) undertook to be the guides
for the numbers Of strangers who then,
as now, hocked to see what was even
at that period one Of the marvels Of
ANTIQUITY. W0mbers' journal.

ON AN OCEAN STEAMER.

The System Of Watches Adopted By the
TrAnsatlsntio steamshlp Lines.
The officers and sailors are divided
into two watches, and keep watch and
watch from the time of departure from
one port till the time of arrival at
the other. These watches are: First
watch, from 8 p. m. till midnight; mid
die watch from q. m. till 8 a. M; fore
noon watch. from a. m. till noon;
afternoon watch. from noon till p. m. ;
then come the dog watches, the first
from p. m. till 6 p. M; the second
from p. m. till 8 p. M; by this ar
rangement seven instead Of six watches
are made. the intention being to change
the turn Of the night watch every
twenty-four hours. BY the way, it was
facetiously remarked by Theodore Hook
that the term dog watch comes from
these watches being s'curtailed." The

THE SPHINX.



BY the ordinary traveller, the Sphinx
has for long been looked upon as one
Of the wonders Of the world; silently it
has stood there chin-deop in sand, gaz-
ing with PARKWAY look in its eyes,
as IL 1t would probe the very depths Of
eternity. As one gazes up into its
weather-beaten. time-worn face. one
longs for 1t to be able to speak and tell
as Of its history, who formed it, and
Why. To-day, the energy Of French
engineers is endeavoring to solve, in
part. the question. NJ. Grebaut, the
present keeper of Antiquities at the
Bculak Museum, has been struggling
valiantly to disinter it from the sand,
which has buried it almost to the throat.
All day long Arabs are employed load
ing trucks with the sand, which they
bring up in buckets to the tramway
above them. This Is not the first at
tempt which has been made to uncover
this colossal monument Of Egyptian an
tiquity. Thothmes Nv. cleared away the
sand; but by the fourteenth century h

WUKEsBARRE, Pa, Oct 3l.--The SIN.
daw Ledder of to-day gives an interview
with Moritz Hoffman, the clothier who, IL
says, was recently kidnapped aud rail-
roaded to the Danville insane asvlum bv
his wife, son and daughter, who con
spired against him. The story, the Ledd-
er says, is startling in its details aud
shows unparalleled domestic cruelty. I,
conclusively proves the sanity of HoG-
man and vindicates the public indignation
that followed his Incarceration. u also
reveals the fact that daughter of HoT-
mans, named Rachael, was spirited away
last December, and has not been seen
since. Hoffman says he will put detect
ives at work TO search for her at once.
